Each time I look at you
Is like the first time
Each time you're near me
The thrill is new
And there is nothing
That I wouldn't do for
The rare delight of the sight
Of you for
The more I see you
The more I want you
Somehow this feeling
Just grows and grows
With every sigh
I become more mad about you
More lost without you and so it goes
Can you imagine how much I love you?
The more I see you as years go by
I know the only one for me can only be you
My arms won't free you, my heart won't try
I know the only one for me
Can only be you
My arms won't free you
My heart won't try

The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress
The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress
Composer(s): Jimmy Webb
First release by: Joe Cocker - 1974
Covered by multiple other artists
See her how she flies
Golden sails across the sky
Close enough to touch
But careful if you try
Though she looks as warm as gold
The moon's a harsh mistress
The moon can be so cold
Once the sun did shine
Lord, it felt so fine
The moon a phantom rose
Through the mountains and the pines
And then the darkness fell
And the moon's a harsh mistress
It's so hard to love her well
I fell out of her eyes
I fell out of her heart
I fell down on my face
Yes, I did, and I -- I tripped and I missed my star
God, I fell and I fell alone, I fell alone
And the moon's a harsh mistress
And the sky is made of stone
The moon's a harsh mistress
She's hard to call your own

Je suis à New York avec les meilleurs musiciens de la Ville
Alors pourquoi vous en priver?
Moi, j'ai trouvé du travail à la C.I.A.
Je dois remplacer l'espion qui venait du froid
Soyez indulgents je débute dans le métier
C'est ma première mission et je suis intimidé
Mais j'ai sur moi le mot de passe qui doit me guider
À tous les espions du quartier c'est

Je vais recevoir la visite d'un agent double
Dans sa loge ma concierge subit l'interview
D'un petit homme en béret qui veut me parler
Elle lui dit: "c'est pour l'espion, montez au premier
Et passez sur le paillasson, essuyez vos pieds
Avant de sonner déclarez"

Grâce à mes exploits j'ai enfin la promotion

Mais souvent mes doute viennent me torturer
Quand j'entends des voix enchantées

Red Shoes By The Drugstore
Red Shoes By The Drugstore
Composer(s): Tom Waits
Performer(s): Tom Waits; The Wedding Present
She wore red shoes by the drugstore
as the rain splashed the nickel
spilled like chablis along the midway
theres a little bluejay
in a red dress, on a sad night
one straw in a rootbeer
a compact with a cracked mirror
and a bottle of evening in paris perfume
he told her to wait in by the magazines
he had to take care of some buisness it seems
bring a raincoat and a suitcase
and your dark eyes
and wear those red shoes
theres a dark huddle at the bus stop
umbrellas arranged in a sad bouquet
li'l cesaer got caught
he was going down to second
he was cooled
changing stations on the chamber
to steal a diamond
from a jewelry store for his baby
he loved the way she looked in those red shoes
she waited by the drugstore
cesaer had never been this late before
and the dogs bayed the moon
and rattled their chains
and the cold jingle of taps in a puddle
was the burglar alarm
snitchin on ceasar
now the rain washes memories from the sidewalks
and the hounds splash down the nickel
full of soldiers
and santa claus is drunk in the ski room
and it's christmas eve in a sad cafe
when the moon gets this way
there's a little blue jay
by the newstand
wearing red shoes
so meet me tonight by the drugstore
we're goin out tonight
wear your red shoes

The Moonbeam Song
The Moonbeam Song
Composer(s): Harry Nilsson
First release by: Harry Nilsson - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists
Have you ever watched a moonbeam
As it slid across your windowpane
Or struggled with a bit of rain
Or dance about the weathervane
Or settle on a moving train
And wonder where the train has been
Or on a fence with bits of crap
Around its bottom
Blown there by a windbeam
Who searches for a moonbeam
Who was last seen
Looking at the tracks
Of the careless windbeam
Or moving to the tracks
Of the tireless freight train
And lighting up the sides
Of the weathervane
And the bits of rain
And the windowpane
And the eyes of those
Who think they saw what happened
Have you ever watched a moonbeam
As it slid across your windowpane
Or struggled with a bit of rain
Or dance about the weathervane
Or settle on a moving train
And wonder where the train has been
Ah-ah-aah-ah
Ah-ah-aah-ah
Ah-ah-aah-ah
Looking at the tracks
Of the careless windbeam
And moving to the tracks
Of the tireless freight train
And lighting up the sides
Of the weathervane
And the bits of rain
And the windowpane
And the eyes of those
Who think they saw what happened

((French Version: Choo Choo Ch'boogie Espion Bidon (Eddy Mitchell) - 1975))
Composer(s): Denver Darling - Milt Gabler - Vaughn Horton
First release by: Louis Jordan - 1946
Covered by multiple other artists
Headin' for the station with a pack on my back
Tired of transportation in the back of a hack
I love to hear the rhythm of the clickety-clack
Hear the lonesome whistle, see the smoke from the stack
Pal around with Democratic fellows named Mac
Take me right back to the track, Jack
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
Woo woo, woo woo ch'boogie
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
Take me right back to the track, Jack
You wake up in the morning feelin' sharp as a tack
You open up a pack and then you gobble a snack
Then smoke a cigarette you didn't get in the pack
While takin' off your shoes so you can empty the slack
Ain't nothin' you can do about the dough that you lack
But beat it right back to the track, Jack
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
Woo woo, woo woo ch'boogie
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
Take me right back to the track, Jack
You reach your destination, but alas and alack
You need some compensation to get back in the black
You take a morning paper from the top of the rack
And read the situation from the front to the back
The only job that's open needs a man with a knack
You put it right back in the rack, Jack
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
Woo woo, woo woo ch'boogie
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
Take me right back to the track, Jack
Gonna settle down by the railroad track
Live the life of Riley in the beaten-down shack
So when I hear the whistle I can peep through the crack
And watch the train a-rollin' when it's ballin' the jack
I just love the rhythm of the clickety-clack
Take me right back to the track, Jack
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
Woo woo, woo woo ch'boogie
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
Take me right back to the track, Jack
Take me right back to the track, Jack!
Take me right back to the track, Jack!

Red Sails In The Sunset
Red Sails In The Sunset
Composer(s): Jimmy Kennedy; Tony Williams
Performer(s): The Platters;
and various other artists
'Twas down where fisher folk gather
I wander'd far from the throng
I heard a fisher girl singing
And this refrain was her song
(Chorus)
Red sails in the sunset
'Way out on the sea
Oh! carry my loved one
Home safely to me
He sailed at the dawning
All day I've been blue
Red sails in the sunset
I'm trusting in you
Swift wings you must borrow
Make straight for the shore
We marry tomorrow
And he goes sailing no more
Red sails in the sunset
'Way out on the sea
Oh! carry my loved one
Home safely to me
Red sails, the night wind is blowing
And clouds are hiding the moon
Above no bright stars are glowing
It means the storm's coming soon

The Moon Was Yellow
The Moon Was Yellow
Composer(s): Fred E. Ahlert - Edgar Leslie
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and multiple other artists
The moon was yellow and the night was young
A smile brought us together, and I was wond’ring whether
We’d meet again some day
The moon was yellow and the song was sung
That vocal inspiration gave me the inclination
To give my heart away
Here we are, is our romance to continue?
Will it be my luck to win you?
May I look that far?
My love is mellow and my hopes are strung
Around that Cupid fellow
Behold, the moon is yellow and the night is young
My love is mellow and my hopes are strung
Around that Cupid fellow
Behold, the moon is yellow and the night is young

Choc'late Ice Cream Cone
Composer(s): Famous Lashua
Performer(s): The Maddox Brothers & Rose
and multiple other artists
My Mama said if I'd be good
She'd send me to the store
She said she'd bake some gingerbread
If I would sweep the floor
She said if I would make the bed
And watch the telephone
That she would send me out
To get a chocolate ice cream cone
And so I did the things she said
And then she made some gingerbread
Then I went out, just me alone
And got my chocolate ice cream cone
While coming back I stubbed my toe
Upon a big old stone
Now need I tell you that I dropped
My chocolate ice cream cone
A little puppy came along
And he took a great big lick
And then I hit that mean old dog
With just a little stick
Then he bit me where I sit down
And he chased me all over town
And now I'm lost I can't find my home
And all because of that chocolate ice cream cone
And all because of that chocolate ice cream cone
And all because of that chocolate, chocolate
Chocolate ice cream cone

Red Rubber Ball
Composer(s): Paul Simon; Bruce Woodley
Performer(s): The Seekers;
and various other artists
I should have known you'd bid me farewell
There's a lesson to be learned from this and I learned it very well
Now I know you're not the only starfish in the sea
If I never hear your name again, it's all the same to me
And I think it's gonna be all right
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball
You never cared for secrets I'd confide
For you I'm just an ornament, somethin' for your pride
Always runnin', never carin', that's the life you live
Stolen minutes of your time were all you had to give
And I think it's gonna be all right
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball
The story's in the past with nothin' to recall
I've got my life to live and I don't need you at all
The roller coaster ride we took is nearly at an end
I bought my ticket with my tears, that's all I'm gonna spend
And I think it's gonna be all right
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball
Oh, oh, oh
I think it's gonna be all right
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball

The Moon of Manakoora filled the night
With magic Polynesian charms
The moon of Manakoora came in sight

Again above the island shore
Then I'll behold it in your dusky eyes
And you'll be in my arms once more
The Moon of Manakoora soon will rise
Again above the island shore
Then I'll behold it in your dusky eyes
And you'll be in my arms once more

The moon is my pillow a cloud is my bed
The sky is the ceiling that's over my head
The stars are the eyes of the angels above
Who watch over me with their heavenly love
And a blanket of blue is my cover
It's as big and as wide as the sky
And the soft evening breeze is my music
And it sings me a sweet lullabye
The moon is my pillow a cloud is my bed
The sky is the ceiling that's over my head
The stars are the eyes of the angels above
Who watch over me with their heavenly love

Chloe! Chloe!
Someone's calling, no reply
Nightshade's falling, hear him sigh
Chloe! Chloe!
Empty spaces in his eyes
Empty arms outstretched, he's crying
Through the black of night
I've got to go where you are
If it's dark or bright
I've got to go where you are
I'll go through the dismal swampland
Searching for you
For if you are lost there
Let me be there, too
Through the smoke and flame
I've got to go where you are
For no ways can be too far
Where you are
Ain' no chains can bind you
If you live, I'll find you
Love is calling me
I've got to go where you are

Red Rose From The Blue Side Of Town
Composer(s): Betty Jean Robinson; Hank Snow
Performer(s): George Morgan
When the man from the flower shop
rings your doorbell today
Take the red rose with the ribbon of blue
You'll find a million memories you threw away
In this red rose I'm sending to you
It's just a red rose from the blue side of town
From a lonely man you let down
I'm sending it from my world
To that new world you've found
It's just a red rose from the blue side of town
My red rose may not decorate your mansion on the hill
With your pretty flowers all around
But a thousand roses in your garden can't express the love
That's in this red rose from the blue side of town
It's just a red rose from the blue side of town
From a lonely man you let down
I'm sending it from my world
To that new world you've found
It's just a red rose from the blue side of town
